Get rid of everything that you don't want

Right from papers, to empty pens and even some knick-knacks that you don't use anymore, throw it in the dustbin. Put the papers at a place from where they can be recycled. If you have the habit of eating chips or little snacks, don't keep the wrapper lying around. Throw it in the dustbin after you are done with it. For papers that are lying around, get a tray to keep them organised.

Your office stationery will most probably be pens, magnets, sticky notes, headphones, extra folders, pins, clips, markers, notepads, and other knick-knacks. If you have space, keep a small tray where you can keep these items neatly stacked in. If not, arrange it in a line at your desk. Get a penholder to keep pens.

Make sure you don't overdo with the pictures.
